Summary

I love you. I appreciate you. In this short solo episode, I'm wishing you the happiest holidays and reflecting a bit. I'm delighted to report that I'm heading into 2025 with a renewed sense of self, and a lot of joy, happiness, and peace. I wish the same for you. And if you're not there right now, that's OK. The sun will come out tomorrow, next week, next month, next year — whenever you're ready for it. You've got this. (You're doing great!)

0:00.0	No intro music because I'm recording this on Christmas Eve and I absolutely refuse to ask my
0:07.2	brilliant editor, Tyler, to put on a pair of headphones today. So, welcome to the Allie on the Run
0:14.3	show. I am your host, Allie Feller and I just wanted to say hi and happy holidays and a few
0:20.1	other things. I promise I will not keep you here
0:22.2	long. I'll be checking in next week, next year technically, for the annual state of the alley on
0:28.0	the run show episode. Right now, I just wanted to say, I love you and I appreciate you. You know I
0:34.9	love a little year-end reflection and the thought of reflecting on
0:38.1	24 as a whole feels pretty insurmountable at the start of this year I was very much at my
0:44.9	rock bottom and it kept going lower really fun game to play how low can you go rock bottom physically
0:53.3	I was such a mess for so long this year. In January,
0:58.3	my hair was shedding more than it did at any point during chemo. My eyebrows were long gone.
1:03.3	My eyelashes were gone. I remember thinking I never actually looked sick while I was going
1:08.2	through chemotherapy, but of course, now I look back at photos
1:11.1	and I looked so, so unwell, which is what I was. I was unwell in so many ways. Physically,
1:20.6	I knew I'd be okay. I knew I'd come out on the other side of cancer and I knew that eventually
1:24.8	my Crohn's disease flare, which lasted for the better
1:27.6	part of a year, I knew it would exhaust itself and subside. I know it doesn't actually work that way,
1:32.9	but that's what I told myself, Crohn's, you're eventually going to get tired. Mentally, though,
1:38.3	I did not know if I would come out on the other side. I started 2024 in such a deep depression. I was existing
1:46.9	in this perpetual fighter flight mode. I was not okay and I did not know how to get to a point where
1:53.8	I would be okay. I had a feeling it was just going to take time. The only way to get through
